Summary
The Canyon Grail stands out in the gravel bike category with its innovative Hover Bar design, offering a unique blend of comfort and control. It's praised for its lightweight build, versatile performance on both tarmac and gravel, and stable handling on rough terrain. However, the Hover Bar's polarizing aesthetics and limited fitting options may not suit all riders.

Few bikes stand out as much as Canyon’s carbon fibre Grail with its unique double handlebar design, but under those divisive looks lurks a bike that's seriously fast across all terrain thanks to great handling and comfort. Marin Headlands 1 2020 review Cipollini MCM Allroad Disc review Big Read: Riding and surviving the Jeroboam, a tough as nails gravel race in Italy About a year or so on from its launch, the radical Canyon Grail (and its mind-bending handlebar) continues in the German company’s range, with 2020 models being unveiled recently.

The same geometry and pedigree as the double handlebar Grail, the Grail AL is aimed at the gravel riders and races that like the stiffness of alloy and the price point it offers. - Mtbr.com

Canyon Bicycles jumps into the world of gravel bikes with a typically cost-conscious, yet still cutting edge design....oh yeah, and a funny handlebar
